Found anything else interesting?

Not much yet. Been a crazy week and I'm only 40-50 pages in the manual.

I did make liberal use of the back button enabling the AF point selection, the joystick to move it and the M-Fn button to select whether I wanted to use the full 19 points, a zone or a single AF point.

Check out page 83-90 in the manual. More options than on the 20D and worth spending a bit of time getting familiar with before you end up in the field. But once you find where the selection and AF style buttons are, it's faster than going through the menu.

Also found that the camera defaults to auto-iso and goes through all kinds of intermediary ISO settings (640, 2000, ...). Auto-iso itself sounds like a great feature. It meant the camera can take up some slack when you are busy trying to keep up with something in changing light. I made a note to research whether those intermediary iso settings have any impact on image quality or not (I read something about pushed iso's somewhere). So if IQ is paramount to you or if you like keeping control, I'd play with auto-iso and then deciding whether it's for me or not.

I'm likely to disable it most of the time. I like having the illusion I'm in charge.

Have fun with the new toy.

Looking at it logically chaps - we could organise a summer BBQ with roast duck, seal steaks and venison burgers if we take this one stage further. Oh; and we could hold the BBQ in a disused loony bin.

Sounds like a plan to me

the fact that they hold a record of the stop for 12 Months as i understand it (why is that needed)

The law says you are entitled to a copy of the search for up to a year after you have been searched

I like nights too, have done them for the past nine years. My body can't stand it though, and my doctor told me to work no more than two. Oh well

We didn't get one though Adrian............???

Perhaps Adrian could do a mock stop on you and give you another At least we could all take pictures of him doing it

Victor, as per PM, I can do Wednesday .. Drop me a PM back with details

Chris, not worked nights before, but have had silly early start jobs .. Sleeping in the day will be fun with Harry & a new born down stairs! Lol ..

We could use our 7Ds and 5D2s to take HD videos of Adrian doing a gestapo scene and beating a Bolshi rebelious Rob up. (TASERS, Batons, CS spray, Handcuffs etc We could sell the video to a news agency.

morning folks,

I trust everyone is hunky dory?

so as I jinx proceedings by saying wow a clear day, not too bright and minimal clouds - is anyone out to shoot anything today? (and cue the thunderclouds)

I am torn between a London photowalk (anyone been? good/bad/indifferent?) or a trip to a National Trust property haven't really abused the membership card enough this season...

anyways I hope you all have a good day whatever you're up to...

Lee

oh and a photo... forgot I took this one so a surprise find in the "archive"

That's a pretty cool shot, like the flash of light on it ..

Were currently Waterloo bound on the train!

I am unfortunately at work, so no photography for me.

Morning all,
Very tired today, shot my Sri lankan/French/Catholic wedding yesterday, started at 10am got home at 1am, and back at work for 9am this morning - i need a pillow

im off to bluewater with the family. ive taken the g9 as there are storm troopers at a display.
could it be consieved as a terorism act if i take a photo of my boy with them?
ive taken the G9 for convenience, however for intelligence gathering it much higher resolution than my 1D!
hopefully i wont get stopped by the imperial army!
have a good day.
